In the world of Fastest Known Time, when you combine a run with a bike it is known as a picnic.  This past Friday, my friends (Mat & Donal) and I took on and completed what is known as the "Presidential Picnic."  This combined a Presidential Traverse, 7 peaks in NH's White Mountains, with a 27 mile bike back to the car.

The AMC 3 huts loop is a route that ties together the northeastern most 3 huts in the AMC hut system: Carter Notch, Lake in the Clouds, and Madison Springs.  For those who dislike the logistics of doing a point to point traverse or would like more experience before tackling the full 8 hut traverse, this route is for you.  In addition to the 3 huts, the route summits Wildcat A and D, Gulf Peak*, Washington, Clay*, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison (* Not 4000' footers).  The route is 26 miles with 11,000' climbing.
